[November 26, 2012]McLEAN --
Families are invited to come out for a day of holiday fun at Sugar
Grove Nature Center in Funks Grove on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. There will be a guided hike at 11 a.m. and animal feeding time
at 1 p.m. Visitors can also spend time exploring the trails and
playing in Imagination Grove.

Stop inside the main building to create a holiday craft and write a
letter to Santa at any time throughout the day. Boys and girls of
all ages are invited to take part in the center's "Letters to Santa"
tradition, in which children put their wish lists in a special
mailbox in Imagination Grove for the woodland animals to deliver.

Family Nature Exploration Days are scheduled the first Saturday
of every month as free opportunities to get out and explore nature.
No registration is required.

Sugar Grove Nature Center is located in beautiful, historic Funks
Grove, just south of Bloomington-Normal. For a map and directions to
